Default I'm not in Massage for recognition

I decided on my own to go to massage therapist just prior to physical therapy, to soften up shoulder, so my advancement would go faster. I'm glad I did. The RSD moved to other shoulder and I again had pt and massagae therapy.
Now have full body, and have continued with massage therapy,swimming, stretching, anything to keep mobile. It does help. I especially liked the lymph glands in my sinus area, helped drainage, and headaches. Thank you for asking and researching. What part of Washington State. My in-laws live in Port Angeles, and I have good friends in Bellingham. Sincerely, loretta
I would rather not say were I am. The massage community is quite small and have more business than I need. This is just a great way to help those I am helping better. I am so glad to hear your shoulders are doing so well. Most shoulder injuries are easy but I can't imagine it being easy when the patient has RSD!
Keep smiling it helps keep the stress and depression away!
Pete
